I presume the second output row should be [5,6)...

And why are you using a timestamp range when your data are dates?

My first thought is to explode the ranges into distinct dates, order them
inside a window, use lag(...) to find breaks,p and assign groups, the for
each group take the min and max of the group and form a new range.  Not sure
exactly what the SQL looks like - especially the range explosion - but
should technically work even though performance may suck. Probably want to
use lateral and generate_series(...) if you are on a more recent version.
